The Houston Astros are in a precarious position. They’ve been the dominant club in the American League over the last decade, winning a couple of World Series and appearing in several more. However, they’ve lost quite a bit of talent from those clubs over the years, and their roster continues to age and get more
The top priority for the Braves isn’t quite clear, but the market may end up determining where Alex Anthopoulos allocates the majority of his resources. The rotation needs at least one arm, but the Braves might feel like they can survive with a stopgap option until Spencer Strider returns from injury. Bringing Charlie Morton back
With more pressing needs in the rotation and outfield, the general feeling is Orlando Arcia will once again be the Braves starting shortstop in 2025.

The Falcons lost their fourth straight game on Sunday against the Vikings, thanks to untimely penalties and a defense that couldn’t stop a nosebleed. The offense actually performed admirably—penalties and Kirk Cousins‘ two interceptions aside. They racked up 500 total yards, moving the ball effectively through both the air and on the ground. All of
In stark contrast to the first half of the season, when the Falcons found new ways to win each week, the last month has been characterized by finding creative ways to lose. Special teams has been a glaring issue, with Younghoe Koo’s uncharacteristic misses serving as lowlights. On defense, despite a resurgent pass rush in
With limited funds and a plethora of holes to fill this offseason, the Braves might only be able to address some of their issues externally while relying on internal development in other areas. Two pitchers to keep an eye on for 2025 are Daysbel Hernandez and Grant Holmes. “Anthopoulos said the potential of exceeding the
